Friends Judy & Gary Disnsmore mentioned the other day that they would like to see Sitka Sedge. We share intrests with them of birding, RVing, and bicycling. We originally met them while I was leading bird walks at Lake Havasu State Park in Arizona during the winter of 2012-2013. We have stayed some-what in touch, and as they are currently volunteering at Fort Yamhill State Park, it's easier to meet up. We agreed to meet them at Neskowin on Sunday evening where we had dinner together at The Beach Club Bistro and parked for the night at Neskowin Beach State Recreation Site. On Monday morning after breakfast we traveled to Sitka Sedge for a morning of bird watching.

Although we came to see the birds we also enjoyed other wildlife like this handsome buck.
and this young one.
To finish up our morning of birding we had an impromptu lunch at nearby Clay Myers State Natural Area. Great freinds, great bird walk, & great lunch. You might notice that another thing we have in common is that we both drive Mercedes-Benz vans!
Beautiful! Looks like good times with good people and perfect environment. Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patty, this is indeed a perfect environment, and largely unknown, so it's extra special to us.
